Windows Server 2008 R2. 

Can anyone tell me if there is any way to see statistics of how an NLB cluster has distributed client requests?  How many in the past 24 hours?  What kind of distribution?  The way we have it configured it should of course be a 50-50 distribution, but if there is a way to display actual stats, that would be quite good.

Sorry, NLB is quit limited. The only option is configure a switch port in mirror/promiscious mode, connect a computer with WhireShark or Network Monitor to that switch port and log the traffic. Of course you have to filter the traffic.

Hi, NLB basically for load balancing and the node type would be "Active" & "Passive". During queries distribution the data pass through only Active node. Passive can be always mirroring. If you want to switch to NLB to HLB where you get feasibility to get the details.

There is no active/passive. And the mirroring is not the case, it also depends on the NLB mode (e.g Unicast, Multicast or IGMP Multicast)
